VOLUME 30. NO. 87 J VNASH __ RESIGNS WILL LEAVE FOR WASHING- | TON D. C. TO ENTER GOV- ERNMENT SERVICE. | J. V. Nash for more than a year assistant cashier of | the First National Bank of this city resigned the first of the week to accept a position with the Fed-| eral Income Tax Unit as an In- ternal Revcnue Inspector at a salary of $4500 a year. Mr. Nash about three months ago took a civil service examina- tion at Grangeville for Internal Revenue Inspector and passed with high honors and since then | correspondence has been going. on between the government and Mr. Nash relative to the position, the result of which caused him to resign as assistant cashier in this city and accept the proposi- tion submitted by the govern- ment. Myr. Nash will leave in about two weeks for Washington D. C. where he will take 45 days | of intensive training to familar- ize himself with the technicel de- tails of his new duties after which he will be placed at some point unknown to him at this time where the government will need his service. Mr. Nash’s new duies will be checking up large corporations relative to their income tax. Johnnie, as he is known to his friends, and he numbers them in figures as large as any man in the county, has been a resident of Cottonwood and Idaho county for the past 27 years end during this time- has held numerous public positions, much to his credit. For four years he was county assessor and for almost the same numfer of years he was postmaster of Cottonwood. He also was engaged for a number of years in the mercantile busi- ness in our city, being associated with Goldstone, Nash and Creel- man. Owing to the fact that they are unaware at this time where they will be located in the future’ the Nashes are disposing of their household goods snd while it is the desire of Mr. Nash to locate somewhere in the west the gov- ernment is just as apt to send him to Florida or to the Philip- pine Islands. Will Name New Cashi:r W. W. Fiint, cashier of the First National Bank in a state- ment given out said that they greatly regretted to see Mr. Nash resign but wished him suc- cess in his new undertaking. He also said that the vacancy at this time had not been filled but that they had a man with bank- ing experience under considera- | tion for the vacancy. NEW PASTOR NAMED. Dean C. Poindexter was named the new pastor for the Commun- ity church in Cottonwood at the session of the Columbia Confer- ence held at Ellensburg, Wash., | recently. Rev. F. M. Cass, who has held this position for the past year was transferred to Anatone, Wash. Rev. Marion Sligar, former minister of Com- munity church in Cottonwood, and son-in-law of Rev. Cass was selected to fill the pulpit at Garfield, Washington. Mrs. Cass has departed for her new home at Anatone and their household goods will be shipped shortly. The newly se'ected minister for Cottonwood is ex- pected to arrive shortly. 25 AND 35 YEARS AGO. The following two ilems were republished in the Free Press last week and were taken from its files of 25 and 35 years ago! respectfully. “The new postoffice at Green- ; creek, with B.

From Lewiston the hogs will be shipp- ed to the Washington State fair, {at Yakima and from Yakima to the Oregon State fair, at Salem. From Salem the swine will again be brought home and exhibited at the Lewis and Idaho. county fairs. It will take about five weeks to make the circuit. Last year the Funke and Me- Kinley hogs won many prizes at the above mentioned fairs and they hope to beat the record made a year ago. “Our hogs” said Mr. Funke “are 30 per cent better this year, but this perhaps | also proves true to the other man’s herds.” } Officers and clerks in the! courthouse gave a surprise party in the judge’s chambers in the courthouse, in honor of Mrs. | Nellie White, Saturday evening, after the county offices closed at 5 o'clock. Mrs. White has been deputy in the assessor's office of Idaho county most of the time over a period of twenty-two years, and recently resigned to remove to Boise.
